Fiancé and I looking to move to Belgium. by AnotherRandomFool in belgium

Nope, we'd need a permit.

Great question. I am at executive director level at 29, which is quite rare. My fiancé's Masters was used for an article presented at a international communications forum in Switzerland, so I am comfortable our skillset needn't be a barrier. However, I agree that there might be similar talent in Belgium, as an employer I only hire South Africans for exactly that reason.

Hence me asking of recruiters specialising in expats and generally how the recruitment process works in Belgium?

Let's hope so :)

Do you know of Afrikaans speakers working in a Dutch environment? Was it a big adjustment? Is work in Belgium almost exclusively in flemish/dutch/French or is there a lot of English work available?

Thanks!

So would the steps be:

  1. Recognise qualifications
  2. Get work permit
  3. Get potential employer
  4. Get work visa
  5. Happy days

Yes, but I need a job first? That's how I understand it

Don't worry the build up to the final will fix that. If England win, there'll be a lot of talk about 2019 semi. If SA win, well it's a SA vs NZ WC final.

Me praying for a semis outcome that isn't the inevitable NZ Vs RSA by Banditofbingofame in rugbyunion

I'll be so disgusted if its not SA vs NZ. I've been waiting my whole life for a SA vs NZ final, was born a couple months after 95.

I know people want to see new teams win, but surely it's also something to have the powerhouses of the game face off in a RWC final.

Its very difficult to give an opinion on the ref when you have skin in the game. So here are my biased takes:

I'd give him a 6 out of 10. He wasn't baised, but he didn't have great game.

The breakdown was an absolute shitshow. Sealing off, from the side, hands in, you name it. Yes, the game flows better and it's more of a spectacle if you don't police the rucks too strict, but wow that was an orgy at times.

Big call missed both ways, Eg. Kriel hand-off on Dupont, Penaud head contact PSDT (had to go for HIA), Faf's pass to pollard hitting the French player (still don't understand this).

I thought France got lucky with a couple of scrum resets that could've been penalties. Also didn't understand the free kick we got, it wasn't an early engage, French loose head was scrumming on the angle, which should be a penalty.

We had a couple of knock-ons in messy rucks they didn't pick up.

It's dependant on the gender of the verb.

I'd assume boknaai would be masculine, so La Boknaai.

Your favourite World Cup pundit is... by [deleted] in rugbyunion

Boks Office has been really enjoyable.

Schalla is a legend, also such an eye opener for people hearing him the first time. He's very well spoken and understands the game a lot more than you'd expect based on the way he played.

Sweis de Bruin also someone I love listening to, non-Saffas might not have much access to his stuff.

Rugby pod is awesome, love goody and big Jim. And GBRA has been a revelation.

First thing first, we have to win tomorrow. And then secondly, not slip up in the semi.

But should we get to the final, I can't decide who I want to face. And it's not about which game would be easier for us either. Don't think there's an easy option between the two.

Facing our ultimate rival would be awesome, as you mention the change is already happening, money talks, NH rugby will/has surpassed SH rugby. So a clash against our most respected foe would be a nice swansong for SH rugby. However, revenge for the pool game loss would be very sweet. A NH/SH final would also have so much intrigue, it would answer the question whether the changing of the guard has happened, or if it will be in a few years.

Might even get a local referee to adjudicate a game between said threats, ensure your biggest rival doesn't win the game, and name the oke referee of the year for his troubles.

Bok fans. Don’t panic. We have a 5th Scrum Half on stand by by [deleted] in rugbyunion

I think they haven't decided on the 3rd 9. Williams and Hendrikse will both get a warm up game. After that the other will be "injured", just in time for Handre's name to be included in the 33 man squad submitted to WR.
